The site was very unlevel had a hard time getting it level and stable! Bathrooms were nice but so hot and humid need some kind of temp control. Shower an d start sweating before you get dressed.

Camprgrounds 200 and 201 were perfect being so close to the shower house/bathrooms. They were cleaned every morning. I Liked this location. We have stayed in the Redbud campground, I think it is, several times as it is closer to the water if you want to walk down to it with a pole and chair. This one was a longer walk to the water but still a great location. Quiet, kids playing here and there or riding bikes. Awesome time.

The Hosts were very accommodating when we moved from Dogwood to Pine Tree. Facilities are super clean and the bike trails are excellent.

Nice walking/biking paths with big trees. Sites are spaced nicely. Close to the town of Benton, but the people in town looked so down and depressed. Our site was level, but be careful some sites are way off.
